The problems faced by Manchester United in my opinion are very complex so far, after Ferguson retired there was not a single Manchester United coach who was able to restore the performance of consistency and also the glory of the Red Devils like the previous Ferguson era, so I think in addition to Ten Hag, Manchester United should also do a complete overhaul of the team including throwing away players like Onana, Maguire and also Antony who are indeed not able to make a huge contribution to the current club, Ten Hag is a coach who has spent a lot of money in building his current squad but the results we see now are not in accordance with the money they have spent, so indeed the main thing that Manchester United is doing at this time is to evaluate the performance of Ten Hag who actually looks incapable of coaching and also brings a lot Changes to Manchester United in recent seasons.
Firing Ten Hag and selling several players will not solve all the problems within the Manchester United team. There are so many problems that have to be resolved little by little and of course this takes a lot of time. Ten Hag certainly has a positive assessment in the eyes of some observers, but I think he deserves a letter of dismissal if he fails again this season.
It doesn't seem like a complete overhaul will immediately restore Manchester United's glory. This team needs better management and needs a coach who can build a strong mentality in his players. Ten Hag was clearly weak in this regard, he received criticism for his performance.
He was able to reap in these average results that were on the edge I guess. He won the FA Cup and thereby secured a spot in the Europa League, which probably saved his ass. Otherwise I think it would have been quite likely that he gets fired, but now he had something to show and they gave him yet again another chance. Two seasons ago it was a relatively strong winning streak towards the end of the season that brought Manchester United into the Champions League, which again seems to have convinced the bosses to allow him to go for another season. Maybe it is the pure lack of alternatives that lets the Manchester United bosses hesitate because if they fire ten Hag, what's next? There is no Guardiola or Klopp or Ancelotti available and they know it.
I think there is a good chance that Manchester United will once again finish the season in the midfield of the table, something like #8 - #10.
